DIY Manta Ray Front Winch Bumper – Jeep Cherokee XJ & Comanche MJ (1984–2001)

I haven’t welded it together yet (waiting on my welder to arrive) but I’m very impressed with the quality so far. The cardboard box was completely demolished when it arrived but everything was neatly packaged inside and stayed together. I’ll post picture once I have it on the Jeep

Went together awesome

Great diy kit but there’s no holes in passenger side frame for brace , besides the 3 for the bumper it’s self . I tried to drill through but broken 2 bits so far . No template or welding instructions on site . Mite want included those in kits they sell . And post drilling mite be required in some models .

Great bumper very easy to weld together

Gret product. All of the pieces fit together perfectly. I will be adding about 8 inches to the tie in peices to the frame and beefing up the steering box mount since I will be in there anyways. I highly recommend it.

This bumper is excellent and was a great project for me to build my welding skills! Came together quickly and easily as all parts fit extremely well and has held up beautifully. I have a Smittybuilt g2 8k pound winch and it fit like a glove. I used this to recover multiple rigs and, even with a snachblock and some dynamic tugs, this thing hasn't moved an inch. Great Product!!!

Went together easily, and took no time at all

Quality product. Only issue was grinding off the millscale, which is absolutely expected on a product like this. Pieces fit together very nicely. If you do fabrication and welding you don't even really need instructions to figure it out. The pieces can really only gonna way. I found using a digital angle finder helped getting the proper angles evenly on both sides. Would 100% recommend this if your confident in your welding abilities.

Best front bumper on the market!

Great product! Fires great and is easy to build,
